Leadership through direct experience
Your stubbornness, drive, and critical attention to detail are all qualities of an effective leader, but can also be the same traits which get in your way. We have an understanding that so often what robs people of an ability to develop in this arena is a lack of opportunity.
The Runway is one of the few programs to combine the reality of management alongside a safe place to grow, learn, and stumble. To make this happen, we entrust the day-to-day operational reins and team leadership of Lost River Hostel.
What’s your next big leap in life?
Directioneering is designed to help make that leap a reality. Whether it's about your career, relationships, routines, or any facet of your life longing for transformation, we're here to guide your journey.
With over 100 graduates since its inception in 2017, the Directioneering workshop is a crucible leading to genuine discovery and change. This all-day workshop brings together 4-6 participants to engage in meaningful discussion and practical, solution-focused exercises.
Through a series of roundtable questions and collaborative exploration, Directioneering provides a unique blend of personal insights and collective wisdom. It's a chance to break down barriers, envision new possibilities, and forge actionable plans.
We are currently scheduling our 2024 sessions in Indianapolis, Louisville, Evansville, West Baden Springs, and virtually. You'll need an internet-ready device and your preferred note-taking tools.
